Mayfield really took care of the tension once the snaps started, completing 43 passes to set a record for a Tech quarterback making his first game. He completed 43 of 60 passes for 413 yards and four touchdowns and also accounted for a touchdown on a scoring run.

Like the quarterback he coached last year at Texas A&M last season, then redshirt-freshman Johnny Manziel, Kingsbury is forbidding Mayfield to speak with the media during his first college season.

Kingsbury told the News that he considered Manziel a “phenom” and doesn’t see many comparisons on the field. But he saw one area where they are similar.

“As far as the fearlessness and the passion and not getting up and down or flustered, saw the same look in Baker’s eyes,” Kingsbury told the News.

It will be interesting to see what Mayfield does for an encore Saturday night against Stephen F. Austin.
